Meet your Candidates: Building Trust and Friendliness through Engagement with Voters
Hello, I've said it all in the subject of this message. Thanks for your attention and have a nice day. Just kidding. How about we set up some Ask Me Anything Session / round-table / dialogue between Candidates and the openSUSE community? Perhaps pulling this out for the ongoing election is a tall order, but what about the next one? You hit four birds with one stone: 1) Motivate and help the candidate to share and express their ideas. 2) Get the community interested in Board things. 3) Get the individuals in the community feel part of the community by gathering them around one common objective. 4) Get the individuals in the community to better know the community and each other because it's always interested to meet people over politics. y/n ? Assuming yes the 2 next questions that naturally come up are: a) sync or async? By which I mean: Should participants exchange get & answer questions live or offline? Sync would be a Jitsi Meeting, async would be a forum or ML. b) on one or distinct "channels"? By which I mean: Should participants talk within a single context (i.e. one single ML) or via separate channels, one for each candidate (i.e. distinct wiki pages or discord rooms). Please don't reply by expressing aversion or love for communication tech stack A or B. If you like the idea and keep in mind a) and b), it won't be difficult to infer the communication tech stack you'd favour. Cheers, Adrien

[…] I'm already working on that. All candidates signaled their agreement for December 12th at 13:00 UTC which should be a reasonable time for most time zones.

I went the hybrid way: Prepare and collect questions before, answers and upfollowing Q&A session live. Furthermore I am preparing a recording of the whole thing for those having to work, sleep or fulfilling other duties.

Hey Vinzenz, I am glad you're already working on that. Dec 12 is next week, so in view of the setup you chose it sounds absolutely crucial to advertise the event ASAP for the sake of reaching the entire community. Also, I assume you'll be curating the questions ahead of the live session, by which I mean identify the main topics, merge very similar questions and disentangle dissimilar questions packed as one? And I also assume you'll be moderating the QA live session, either by curating the questions just like ahead of the session, or by making sure questions bubble up harmoniously to the candidates? If you are, then that's awesome, but are you doing all this alone? Or could you use any help? I would have been haunted by remorse if one of these two key aspects had been missing and I hadn't asked. Cheers, Adrien
Oh and I forgot: 1 third of the candidates don't have their platform ready as of this message. Ideally the platforms would be ready when the announcement is made.
